Thinking about heading down to Excel tomorrow for the boat show, outdoor show and bike show. Is it any good??

Also interested to hear any reports, planning on heading down myself. Most importantly, which stands have the best freebies?

I’ll be there on Saturday – hope there will be some freebies left by then 🙂

Its wasn’t the best one i have been too. A very distinct lack of stalls and things to see.

Although it is worth seeking out the good looking ladies in the waterproof macs

did you do the outdoor show bit too S-A or just the bike show?

Both, its all in the same hall.

outdoor bit was loads of folk trying to get me interested in outdoor package holidays…. and woolly socks and fluorescent pants

Don’t let me put anyone off, but it really wasn’t something i would bother doing again. You’ll see more stalls at MM this year, or the bike show in brum

i’m going on saturday

I can get reasonably excited over woolly socks. Will look out for the Brum one. Thanks

Well that was pretty good. Saw the singular peraguine I’m keen on and also the bell tent I’m considering too. Lots of nice bikes but not much in the way of freebies.
